What you need to know about lifting a 2016 Tacoma - Presented by Toytec Lifts

That set up looks clean! I really like it.

 

That does help thank you. Did not think of the progressive multi leaf AAL's. How much height did they give?

 

Well, I'm running an icon stage 5 kit set at 3 inches up front and the truck sits level so I'm guessing about 2 inches in the back. I will say however that with the Icon leaf pack, there is a rivet and spring clamp towards the back of the leaf pack that you will have to drill out and remove because it interferes with the longest leaf in the icon pack. Didn't have that problem with the single deaver aal, just the icon. Here's some pics of both trucks. MGM is running the Deaver aal, and my white truck is running the icon.

 

Nice! is that limo 5% tint on your white tacoma? all around?

 

Limo on all the back windows and sunroof, 20% on the front windows and probably going back in for 70% on the windshield

 

Hard to say for sure, but judging solely by the picture my guess would be yes. That said, when you're ready, bring it by the house and I'll help you out. Took a grand total of about 10 minutes to drill both sides. Oddly enough, if you look at the back of your stock leaf pack, you'll see there are 2 clamps very close together towards the back of the leaf pack. The one the needs to be removed is the one closest to the axle.

 

Pictures speak volumes so thanks a ton! And too for the info on the bracket with the Icon.

 

Always happy to help guys. If you've got any more questions, feel free to shoot them my way.

 

Nice! I did limo all around but kinda wish I didn't go so dark in the front.
Oh well, I'm sure I'll change my mind in the summer.

 

With the lift, are you running 265s? Or are those 285s?

 

265 FTMFW

 

The factory 16s should be a 16x8. Only gripe I have about the 16

 

(2015 Taco Parts Bin) 2" Poly Strut Spacer with 1.5" rear block kit along with Add-a-leaf/ Overload spring. 20x9 wheels with 12x1.5 285/55 R20 Terra Grappler tires. Front spoiler removed and zero rubbing. Ride quality about the same but firmer with lower profile tire. Very Happy!!

 

Mind if I ask why? Does it make tire sizing a pain or something?

 

If you want to up size your tires past 265 75, then you will have to get different wheels. It is possible to do, but you may blow a bead. Most tire manufacturers have a minimum accepted width for tires, and 16x8 pretty much covers anything I'd want.

they made good looking wheels, which I want to keep, but are useless for what I want tire size

 

Makes sense, I've had 33 inch tires before on a truck this size and imo it's way too much(roughly 285). They seem to put stress on axles and rear ends.

 

The amount of members on TW that run 285s is the majority when used with a 3 inch lift.

It's when you get to 35s that you run into under power issues.

But, as always, ymmv.

 

Fair enough, and this will be my first taco. My last truck was a Ranger with a 3.0 slow.

 

AngelMoroni- so what lift did you go with and who did the install? looking really good. want the exact look for mine.

 

Toytec boss 2.5 with total chaos UCAs up front. OME Dakar leafs in back with toytec boss shocks.

Did the install myself.
